FR-EDRICK XV. EISENBERG, OF ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN.

TAILORS GOOSE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392.595, dated November 13, 1888.

Application filed March 2G, 1858.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDRIOK VILLIAM EISENBERe-, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ann Arbor, in the county of Washtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Tailors Goose, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in tailors charcoal-irons, and the invention is intended to'form an improvement on the patent granted to Ine February 2l, 1888, numbered 37 8,297 5 and theimprovement consists in the improved means for locking and unlocking thc hinged bottom and the hinged top to and from the body of the iron, all as more fully hereinafter described, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section; Fig. 3, a rear elevation, and Fig. 4 a cross-section on the line .rx of Fig. 2.

A is the body of the iron, provided with a combustion-chamber, B, within which is supported a grate, C, provided with pcrforations or slots in the usual manner for the admission of air to the fuel,and with a rear guard, D, which extends above the draft-opening E in the rear ond of the body to prevent sparks or Vfuel from falling out through the draft-openlng.

F is an ash-pit formed between the bottom and the grate.

G is a bottom hinged at its rear end to the body and tightly iitting against the underside thereof. The forward end of this bottom is provided with an upwardly-extending lug, H, which is provided with a hook, I, into which engages the lower hooked end of a lockinglever J. The upper end of this locking-lever is pivotally secured in a slot at the forward end of the body and has an upwardly-projecting handle, K, which is within convenient proximity or reach of the hand of the operator holding the handle, and a spring, L, acts against the rear side of the handle K to keep the locking-lever in engagement with the hook I. The lower end of the lever J is provided with a beveled hook, M, to engage with the Serial No. 268.1163. (No model.)

hook I, which is similarly rounded or beveled, all so arranged that the operator in extending the thumb of the hand with which he holds the iron may grasp the handle K of the locking-lever J and thereby unlock the hinged bottom, which, dropping by its own weight, permits the ashes to fall out, after which rearrangement ofthe bottom with the locking-lever J is easily accomplished by bringing the bottom against the body, when thelocking-lever will be automatically engaged.

N is a stationary part of the top, through which the draft-opening O is provided for the escaping of the gases of combustion.

l? is the hinged part of the cover carrying the handle Q and the sliding spring-latch R, which extends longitudinally through the hinged cover l? and terminates at its rear end in a handle, S, which projects beyond the rear end of the body and forms a stop to limit the degrce of opening of the hinged top,which,when fully opened, stands at about a right angle to the body, thereby permitting full access to the combustion chamber to replenish the fuel. The forward end of this locking-latch R projects into a suitable slot or recess, T, in the stationary part of the top, and thereby firmly locks the hinged portion of the top in place. By beveling the forward end of the latch, and also the portion of the stationary top above the recess T, the spring-latch is made to operate automatically in closing the hinged top.

The draftopenings ll are provided with draft-doors U, which are hinged at their outer ends at V, so as to operate in an upward direction. This is for the purpose of allowing the knuckle W of the hinged bottom to crowd the doors U out of the way when the hinged bottom is opened, and at the same time permit of forming a tight joint between the rear end of the bottom and the lower edge of the draftdoors to prevent any danger of ashes orsparks falling out.

That I claim as my invention isl. The combination, in a tailors charcoaliron, of the body A, the stationary top N, the hinged top P, carrying the handle Q, and the sliding spring-latch lt, provided at its rearward end with a handle, and stop S, independent of said handle Q, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the body A, having ICO stationary top N, formed with recess T andl XV of the hinged bottom, and having oppobeveled above said recess, of the hinged top sitelyr-beveled adjacent ends, substantially as P, recessed longitudinally, as shown, and the and for the purpose speoied.
